Fuck me, took me some time to get over our loss on saturday
But Russia was fucking ace and hope they will give Spain a hard time on the pitch. Well done to Russia
Russia - Turkey, now that would make a great final:D
I knew Holland wouldnt win the Euros. Peaked too soon and not got the right mentality (luck they didnt meet the Netherlands, wot a game that would have been!).
Glad Spain won last night but Ive not seen enough to suggest they can go all the way. Defence is creaky and big time players going missing in big games.
Looks like we're gonna have a Germany-Russia final. Can't see Turkey pulling another stunt with half their side either injured or suspended. Should be a piece of Kuchen for the Germans.They've showed they can play their usual game (solid,secure and strong), or in an attractive, attacking way. Ballack or Arsjavin, they're the key factors,IMHO.

Germany 3- 2 Turkey. Even w/ a third string @times Turkey seemed to just toy w/ Germany. In'credible.
Excellent game.
Do wish that Spain hadn't hit its stride. Russia 0- 3 Spain.
Ads as always, the germans made it to the finale. Even wehen they are playing shit-games they manage
But, sorry for the German order, i really really really do hope that Spains wins this cup...good players, good team..they deserve it (well i find that actually Holland deserved it but we know where that ship stranded).:\ohwell:
So, who are favored in this final? It seems like it should be Spain, but I don't know. Germany's keeper seems a bit shaky. I'm rooting for Deutschland, though.

Ah, thank you. That sounds about right, based on what little I know. Spain have played very well in this tournament, and I don't know if I trust Lehmann. I'll still root for Germany, though.

The chances for both teams are absolute equal. Spain is a litte bit overrated at the moment. They made most of their goals against Russia.

Much respect to the Turks! They made the Germans look very shaky in the first half. Nearly did their last minute escape-trick again, but one must admit, the Germans are the real masters of last minute scoring! Pity the Russians din't play as good as did against Sweden and Holland, but credits to Spain for beating them twice.
So far all my predictions screwed up, so me wishing for Spain to win will probably mean the Germans will win the final.
Good luck to both on Sunday 
After a representive poll in Germany 72 % of the people over 14 years say Germany will win, 20 % Spain, 8 % say nothing.
Strange tournament, the best side over the whole tournament were worthy winners, but there were also some sparkling displays from Russia and Holland in patches, and the saracens late rally was always entertaining. What really surprised me was how crap some of the teams were, in particular the French and the Greeks. Germany had their moments but that has to be the worst German defence in international history, I felt sorry for Ballack. Italy were often way too negative.
England? Not good enough to qualify, which says a lot......
Great winner
Makes wish to be in spain right now, some cold cerveza, some sunshine and a great party...beats sitting in this boring office by miles:\ohwell:

I agree (nearly). Dont forget the 2 hosts (Switzerland and Austria) in the crap camp. I was amazed how open and attacking most of the games were and glad Spain won as I thought they througherly deserved it, and probably had the solidest defence, best goalie and best midfield, oh and their strikers werent too bad either. I dont feel sorry for Ballack one bit though. he's german.
Best Euros ever in my book. I think if England had showed up it would have been like watching France/Greece/Sweden/Austia (take your pick). Were so far behind and I doubt were ever win anything in my lifetime.
